PATENT OFFICE.

ASKE TERRACE, COUNTY on MIDDLESEX,

ENGLAND.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 11,776, dated March 1,1864.

To all whom it may concern."

.Be it known that I, CHARLES HENRY HUD SON, of 17 Aske Terrace, inthecounty of Middlesex and Kingdom of Great Britain,have invented a newand Improved Transferable Pattern for Embroidery, Braiding, 860.; and Ido hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription of the same.

This invention consists of a'paper or fabric which has its surfaceprinted with ornamental embroidery-patterns in such a manner that whensaid printed paper is dampened and pressed upon any cloth or othersurface the said ornamental embroidery-patterns will be transferred.

In printing the original patterns upon paper I use block-'patterns-thatis, patterns formed by inserting strips of metal into wood, or The inkwhich I use is composed of about equal parts of sugar and guni-arabicmixed with any color and dissolved in water to the consistence of cream,so that it readily adheres to the edges of the block-patterns, and. thatit leaves an impression on paper or other material upon which saidblock-pattern may be pressed down. Af-

ter the original patterns on paper have thus been prepared, the muslinor fabric upon which the pattern is to be transferred is dampened andstretched upon a table or fiat surface, and the original pattern isplaced on it, face down, and pressed lightly with a towel or cloth allover. By these means the patterns are transferred upon the muslin orfabric ready for embroidering, braiding, stitching, 860.

Instead of dampening the muslin or other fabric upon which the patternis to be transferred, said fabric may be simply stretched and A paper orfabric whichhas its surface provided with a transferableembroidery-pattern,

as herein described.
